Installs agent-facing instructions/capability docs without an explicit user command, affecting multiple agent platforms if their config dirs exist. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.0.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Static inspection confirms install-time writes into several foreign AI-agent skill directories via postinstall. Under the install-control policy this is concrete unconsented mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces, so it should be blocked despite no observed exfiltration or remote code execution. Product guard normalized a concrete AI-agent control hijack publish\_block to the blockable dangerous-capability shape. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-05T16:41:26.227Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-05T16:41:51.002Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 194 ms - **AI review time:** 24325 ms - **Total time:** 24775 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The package performs unconsented install-time mutation of broad AI-agent skill directories. That creates an agent control-surface change during npm install, even though the copied skill appears package-owned. - **Trigger:** npm install / pnpm install running package postinstall - **Impact:** Installs agent-facing instructions/capability docs without an explicit user command, affecting multiple agent platforms if their config dirs exist. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-skill.mjs, skills/using-apkpub-cli/SKILL.md, dist/apkpub.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-05T16:41:51.002Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall copies bundled AI-agent skill files into user home agent skill directories - **Attack narrative:** On install, npm runs scripts/install-skill.mjs. The script detects existing AI-agent config directories in the user's home directory and recursively copies the package's bundled using-apkpub-cli skill into each corresponding skills directory. This is not a remote payload or credential theft path, but it is an unprompted mutation of broad agent control surfaces during package installation. - **Rationale:** Static inspection confirms install-time writes into several foreign AI-agent skill directories via postinstall. Under the install-control policy this is concrete unconsented mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces, so it should be blocked despite no observed exfiltration or remote code execution. Product guard normalized a concrete AI-agent control hijack publish\_block to the blockable dangerous-capability shape. - **Files touched:** scripts/install-skill.mjs, skills/using-apkpub-cli/SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/using-apkpub-cli, ~/.cursor/skills/using-apkpub-cli, ~/.hermes/skills/using-apkpub-cli, ~/.claude/skills/using-apkpub-cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json defines postinstall: node scripts/install-skill.mjs., scripts/install-skill.mjs runs at install time and copies skills/using-apkpub-cli into ~/.agents, ~/.cursor, ~/.hermes, and ~/.claude skills dirs when those config dirs exist., scripts/install-skill.mjs also honors APKPUB\_SKILL\_DIRS to write the skill to arbitrary user-provided directories. - **Evidence against:** scripts/install-skill.mjs copies only package-bundled skill files; no download, eval, child\_process, or credential harvesting observed there., Install script can be skipped with APKPUB\_SKIP\_SKILL\_INSTALL and silently ignores missing agent config dirs., dist/apkpub.js is a CLI for APK publishing; network calls use user-supplied store credentials for app-market APIs., No prompt injection text or exfiltration logic observed in the inspected install script. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to apkpub-cli@0.0.2. - Avoid installing apkpub-cli@0.0.2. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
